Description (Translated):
Singer Wonho has returned in about 5 months with a new album that will show off his colorful charm. 'Obsession' is Wonho's first single, proving that he is an 'all-rounder artist', recognized not only for his vocals, but also for his splendid performance and outstanding lyricist and composition skills. Also, following the previous song 'Blue Letter', he once again participates in writing lyrics, composing, and arranging all songs to tell his honest story and deepened emotions.This album contains two songs that allow you to feel Wonho's further developed musical capabilities. Wonho directly participated in writing, composing, and arranging both songs to capture the musical color and perfection of the song at the same time.
The title song 'EYE ON YOU' is based on a house rhythm, and it is a song that only Wonho can sing with a composition and sound that have not been easily found in K-pop. It is an electro house pop song that blends sharp synth lines and Wonho's unique restrained vocals, as if expressing the gradually rising tension centered on powerful bass and heavy drums. In particular, the deadly lyrics and the sexy beauty that blooms strangely between the rich sound that creates a dark and powerful mood at the same time as minimalism are impressive.
The meaning of the word 'Obsession' is more vividly contained in the music video for the title song 'EYE ON YOU'. We tried to deliver a dreamy yet mysterious atmosphere with a colorful graphic production that gives a sense of mystery as well as a sense of sensibility.
The b-side song 'Somebody' starts with an acoustic piano and synth, followed by a guitar and bass riff. It is a pop-style song where the powerful and groovy bass sound harmonizes perfectly with Wonho's vocals.
Wonho swept the global charts with his second mini-album 'Blue Letter' released last year and achieved good results. Starting with taking third place on the Worldwide iTunes Album Chart, the album also made it to the Top 10 in five countries and regions around the world, including Mexico, Brazil, and the United States, on the iTunes Top 100 Album Chart. In addition, all of the songs in the album, including the title song 'BLUE', were ranked at the top of the iTunes Top 100 Songs. In addition, Wonho won the 'AAA Best Musician' and 'Male Solo Artist' awards at the 2021 Asian Artist Awards and the '2021 Hanteo Music Awards', respectively, with 'Blue Letter', making it the first time since his solo debut at the end of the year. He also enjoyed the joy of holding the trophy in his arms at the awards ceremony.
In this way, Wonho, who has solidified the modifier 'global trend' by showing amazing evolution and original music color in each album, will once again prove his irreplaceable presence with his first single 'Obsession'.
Description (Original):
가수 원호가 다채로운 매력을 보여줄 새 앨범으로 약 5개월 만에 돌아왔다. 'Obsession'은 보컬은 물론, 화려한 퍼포먼스, 뛰어난 작사·작곡 능력까지 인정받으며 '올라운더 아티스트'임을 증명한 원호의 첫 싱글이다. 또한 전작 'Blue Letter'에 이어 또 한 번 전곡 작사, 작곡, 편곡까지 참여해 자신의 솔직한 이야기와 짙어진 감성을 들려주고자 한다.이번 앨범에는 원호의 한층 더 성장된 음악적 역량을 느낄 수 있는 2곡이 담겼다. 원호는 2곡 모두 작사, 작곡, 편곡에 직접 참여해 음악적 색깔과 곡의 완성도를 동시에 잡았다.
타이틀곡 'EYE ON YOU'는 하우스 리듬을 기반으로, 그 동안 K팝에서는 쉽게 찾아볼 수 없던 구성과 사운드가 돋보이는 원호만이 할 수 있는 노래다. 파워풀한 베이스와 묵직한 드럼을 중심으로 서서히 고조되는 긴장감을 표현하듯 날 선 신스라인과 원호 특유의 절제된 보컬이 어우러진 일렉트로 하우스 팝이다. 특히 미니멀함과 동시에 다크하고 파워풀한 무드를 자아내는 풍성한 사운드 사이로 치명적인 가사와 묘하게 피어나는 섹시미가 인상적이다.
'Obsession'이라는 단어가 갖는 의미는 타이틀곡 'EYE ON YOU' 뮤직비디오에 더욱 생생하게 담겨 있다. 감각적이면서도 신비로움을 주는 화려한 그래픽 연출로 몽환적이면서도 미스터리 한 분위기를 전달하고자 했다.
수록 곡 'Somebody'는 어쿠스틱한 피아노와 신스를 시작으로, 기타와 베이스 리프가 돋보이는 노래다. 파워풀하며 그루비한 베이스 사운드가 원호의 보컬과 환상의 조화를 이루는 팝 스타일의 곡이다.
원호는 지난해 발매한 두 번째 미니 앨범 'Blue Letter'로 글로벌 차트를 휩쓸며 호(好)성적을 거뒀다. 월드 와이드 아이튠즈 앨범 차트 3위를 차지한 것을 시작으로, 아이튠즈 톱100 앨범 차트에서도 멕시코·브라질·미국 등 전 세계 5개 국가 및 지역 TOP10에 이름을 올렸다. 또 타이틀곡 'BLUE'를 비롯해 수록 곡 전곡을 아이튠즈 톱100 송 상위권을 기록했다. 뿐만 아니라 원호는 'Blue Letter'로 2021 아시아 아티스트 어워즈(2021 Asia Artist Awards)'와 '2021 한터뮤직어워즈'에서 각각 'AAA 베스트 뮤지션'과 '남성 솔로 아티스트' 상을 수상하며 솔로 데뷔 이후 처음으로 연말 시상식에서 트로피를 품에 안는 기쁨을 누리기도 했다.
이처럼 매 앨범마다 놀라운 진화와 독창적인 음악색을 보여주며 '글로벌 대세' 수식어를 확고히 한 원호는 첫 싱글 'Obsession'으로 대체 불가한 존재감을 다시 한번 증명할 것이다.
